[The weight of him slipping into bed with her, and the arm sliding around her waist makes her smile. He came back. She's still a little bit in awe of this. Of him.
And the kiss he drops on her shoulder makes her sigh softly, leaning back into him. She's always touching him, when she can. Especially when it's just the two of them.]
[He smiles slightly as she leans back into him. She told him once that she feels safer like this, wrapped up with him, with the weight and the warmth of him next to her. He doesn't understand it, exactly, he's not exceptionally skilled in a lot of self defense, and his handle on his powers was shaky at best. But to hear her say it? It felt pretty amazing.]
Good. [He mumbles, pressing a single, soft kiss to her neck. He doesn't know exactly when they crossed from one side of the line into this, but he's glad it happened.]
[She doesn’t need him to be skilled in self-defence, or have a handle on his powers. She just… needs him. Cisco Ramon. That’s what makes her feel safe. Him. He’s sort of amazing, and he cares so much about her that it kind of takes her breath away. And she cares about him just as much.
She’s pretty sure he has to be able to feel her smiling, that soft little kiss to her neck making her beam, almost, her smile is so bright. How is this real? How is HE real? Somehow they found their way here and she isn’t quite sure how but she wouldn’t change it for anything.
Sighing, she relaxes against him, yawning a little.] Glad you came back. Missed you.
Mmmm...I didn't even make it down the block. [He nuzzles her neck again, amazed at how just her presence can put him at ease.] Told you I'm weak. [But he's laughing as he says it and the words don't actually hold much weight.] I guess I should probably at least call and let them know I won't be at the store today.
[Her heart flutters in her chest as he nuzzles her neck, shivering a little. It’s silly, how much she enjoys the little things. Lying in bed together. The way he touches her so easily. Like she means something. He makes her so happy. He means so much to her. She laughs softly, her hand settling over his, tangling their fingers together as she looks at him over her shoulder.] Probably a good idea. And luckily that’s the sort of thing you can do from bed.
It is, this is true. [He grins softly and untangles himself from her just long enough to get his work situation sorted. Once that's taken care of, he's curling back into her.] I could stay here all day.
[It’s ridiculous, how much she misses him for that short time he’s untangled from her, how much she notices the lack of being close to him. She’s sighing in contentment once he’s curling back into her, tucking against his side. And there goes her heart again, fluttering in her chest at his words.] Sounds good to me.
[Being curled up with her, all content and warm, eventually causes him to drift off back to sleep. He can't help it. She's comfy and cuddly and it just makes for the perfect storm of letting sleep take over again.
He doesn't dream while he's asleep, which he doesn't mind much because sleep is a tricky thing sometimes and he'd rather be dreamless than plagued with nightmares. But eventually, sunlight filters into the room and he squints awake against the sudden brightness of it. He groans and buries his face against Jesse's shoulder.] Turn the sun off, Jess. s'too bright.
[It’s so much easier for her to sleep with him there. She’s gotten used to him, to his presence in her bed, and when he’s not there (even though it’s incredibly rare for that to happen, anymore), sleep is a lot harder to find. But with the rain pattering down on the roof and his arms around her, the warmth of his presence at her back as they cuddle, she drifts off to sleep easily.
What’s more, it’s peaceful, free of nightmares and the memories of all that’s happened since arriving in Medietas.
Between the sun and his stirring behind her she’s drawn towards wakefulness, crinkling her nose and squinting at the bright light, making a sleepily irritated little noise.] ’sco… [She tugs the blankets up and uses them to hide from the offending sunlight.] G’back to sleep. Too early…
[She twists in his embrace, so she’s facing him, curling closer and tucking her head against his shoulder. Blankets are good for hiding from the sun but Cisco is better. She makes a contented, happy little humming noise, her arm sliding around him.] I’d like that.
[He smiles, small and sleepy and maybe a little lopsided.] It sounds nice. [He nods a bit, pressing a kiss to her forehead.] Somehow, I don't think we'd be allowed.
[She smiles a sleepy, fond little smile at the press of his lips to her forehead. It’s the little things, the little gestures like sleepy forehead kisses on a sunny morning that get to her more than anything. She snuggles closer.] Blankets. They’ll never find us.
Is that all I've needed to get out of things all this time? I feel robbed of so many recluse days of yore that I was forced to socialize during. [He grins and steals a quick kiss from her.]
[She makes a soft humming noise in the affirmative.] Mmhm. It’s a very secret weapon. And now you will never be forced to socialise again. Certainly not if I can keep you here with me instead. [Her heart flutters in her chest and her stomach lurches giddily as he steals a quick kiss from her. How is he so able to do that to her? Happy, so very, very happy, she presses a kiss to the corner of his jaw and then another against his lips.]
Good. [He mumbles through a smile as he tips his head and kisses her softly.] I'd much rather spend my time here. With you.
[He smiles again as she kisses his jaw and finds her way to his lips again. He worries still sometimes, that maybe he shouldn't let this happen, that he, being the older one in the situation, should stop it in it's tracks.... and then she makes one of those happy, content little noises and it makes his stomach flip and he can't imagine trading that for anything.]
[Those words, those simple little words, take her breath away. She’s never been... that, to someone. So important. Not like this. And yet here he is. Telling her that. He’d rather spend his time here. With her.] Good. I... good.
Because I’d rather be here with you, too.
[She nuzzles him, snuggling closer and sighing happily.]
[Okay, so she’s just going to attempt to hide how much she’s blushing by ducking her head a little and ignoring it entirely. Who’s blushing? Her? Nope you’re totally mistaken. But the smile that’s on her face when he tucks her hair behind her ear is soft and incredibly fond.]
Hey. [He tries to tilt her chin up with a gentle hand, smiling softly.] No hiding. It's true. [He knows how hard it can be to accept compliments sometimes, though, which is why his voice is soft and he's trying to gently coax her out of hiding.]
[He makes her speechless so easily, sometimes. Just takes her breath away. She feels so important, with him. She feels like she is amazing. She has no words so she goes with actions instead, ducking forward and kissing him, putting everything she doesn’t have the words to say into that little gesture.]
So are you. You are incredible, Cisco.
[The words she’s finally found are murmured against his lips.]

He slips into the bed behind her, sliding his arm around her waist.] Is this better? [He mutters softly, dropping a kiss on her shoulder.]
